Oak Forest Health And Rehabilitation

Oak Forest Health and Rehabilitation Center is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Winston Salem, North Carolina, offering a complete continuum of care including short-term rehabilitation, long-term living, skilled nursing care, hospice care, palliative care, respite care, and ventilator-dependent care.

The center is home to a dedicated Ventilator-Dependent Care Unit with 18 semi-private beds, maintaining a high staff-to-patient ratio and employing a 24/7 respiratory therapist. Upon arrival, patients work with a clinical team to develop a person-centered care plan designed to help regain skills and reduce hospital readmission risk.

Rehabilitation services are provided by in-house physical, occupational, and speech therapists who develop individualized daily plans with achievable goals. Physical therapy addresses strength, mobility, balance, and coordination; occupational therapy helps with daily tasks such as bathing, grooming, and dressing; and speech therapy improves communication, cognitive function, and swallowing abilities. The facility includes a well-equipped therapy gym with an Activities of Daily Living Suite and offers enhanced services such as electrical stimulation and vital stimulation.

Skilled nursing care is available 24 hours a day through registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. Services include wound care management with a dedicated wound care physician, cardiopulmonary therapy, fall interventions, incontinence management, IV therapy, full-time physician coverage, geriatric psychiatry services, and podiatry services.

The facility emphasizes safe discharge planning to facilitate successful transitions back to patients' prior living settings, working with physicians to provide a holistic approach to care at all levels of activity and acuity.
